Recommended Posts

Im so excited that you chose to share these photos. I could be you almost. Very similar anyway. I just recently took a bunch of before pictures as i am still in the early stages of my journey but after i took the pictures i was looking at them and I couldn't imagine showing anyone else. It takes bravery! Also, I've been looking at before and after photos of so many ppl , just trying to find someone who's body looks similar to mine so i can envision more of what i will look like after and i am very excited to see yours. Thanks for sharing!!! You look great!!

Wow! You give me such hope! I get my surgery on Thursday and have been getting more nervous. Of course I'm nervous about the surgery itself and the whole getting used to my new living, but I also have been really nervous about the skin! You look great! Any tips/strategies you can give?

@@RDHender I totally know what you mean about the skin. I guess I should start trying to adapt more to the, "one day at a time", I have seen many vids on youtube and the belly is the worse. Let's think about how great we will feel though! Our feet will thank us, our knees for sure :D Oh, and those fabulous clothes you will be wearing too. I know what a dif it was from 332 lb to 248 lb....I feel the 20 I gained back over the past few months. So ready to get back down, and keep going down. I can't believe the dif those currently 17lb back up feel. Looking forward to this journey. FIVE WEEKS from today is the big day.

I've lost a total of 120 pounds, but I feel like I can eat way more than I used to. I had my surgery in May 2013, and kept the weight off, but now I notice that I can definitely eat more and drink more than before.

Starting weight was 356

Current weight 176.3

On the 25th of October it will be 16 months since surgery for me!

I think my skin heeling quickly has a lot to do with my age, (19)

Seeing people that I knew from high school that don't recognize me at all is my most favorite thing lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
